Retail Business Up r Decatur retailers have been quite happy so far with the Christmas business. A check of various retail stores shows that this Christmas season is the best in many years, and that buying is at an all-time high. One Decatur merchant stated that last week set a store record for sales, and this week is breaking last week’s already. And that was on Thursday. The unusually large selection now found in Decatur, or available in a day or two by selective ordering, is one reason given. High employment now, with all area factories going strong, is another. Decatur people who shop here in Decatur are very wise. Decatur merchants pay taxes here, support local charities, and help their fellow local groups. When a few bucks are needed here or there, it is the local merchant, not the out-of-towner, who kicks in. Those who take pride in Decatur, and who expect their local merchant to 'serve them, realize full well that he will be right there tomorrow and the next day to back up his guarantee of satisfaction. Yes, your home town, Decatur, is a good place to shop this Christmas. Editorial Writer Today Dick D. Heller, Jr.

Pottiwdy Urges Immediate Mailing “While the time to talk about ‘Mail Early For Christmas’ has passed," acting postmaster John Boch said today, “last minute mailers can help us tremendously to avoid serious pile-ups of Christmas mall if they’ll got all of their Christmas cards and gift packages on their way within the next 24 hours.” * He suggests, “use air mail for every Christmas card and gift package going to distant places.” Here’s a few of toe postmaster’s important reminders about Christmas mall. "Don’t mail money in Christmas gifts or parcels. Use postal money orders or checks. Be sure to include full name and address, postal zone numbers, and your return address, written or printed clearly on every card and package. While Christmas cards may be sent unsealed for a 3# rate, the 44, first class sealed rate is best because it automatically assures forwarding if toe addressee has moved and has left a new address, or toe card is returned if it is undeliverable (providing you have put your return address on it). Insure parcels and register letters of real value. Parcels containing delicate gifts must be marked ‘Fragile,* and food stuffs should be marked ‘Perishable* if they are subject to spoilage.” Boch expressed his appreciation for the fine cooperation of the public so far, and went cm to say, “Now that we are coming to toe end of the big rush, let’s all keep up the good work so we can have every mail bag empty and every post office employe relaxing at home on Christmas Eve.” f If you have something to sell or trade — use Democrat want ads — they get BIG results.
